Nanostructured carbon materials, which could be used as electrodes in electrochemical devices (supercapacitors, fuell cells, sensors, etc.) could be produced by nanopore formation using templates (mesogels) or drying processes (aerogels). Additionally, nanostructured assemblies could be produced by self assembly of soluble carbons, such as functionalized carbon nanotubes. The electrodes produced using those methods are studied by Probe Beam Deflection, XRD, TEM, Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectroscopy and AC Impedance.
